poison on skeleton crossbows, Whispering Cairn

[philarete]

Small mistake in room 2 of the observatory:

The text says the crossbow bolts are coated with medium centipede venom, but says the poison does 1d4 str, DC 15 save.

Medium centipede venom is 1d3 dex, DC 13 save. The closest poison for the listed damage would be medium spider venom, 1d4 str, DC 13 save.

Hmm; possibly worth a bump?

Never came up in my game, since the skeletons couldn't hit the side of a barn before being turned.

DMs can decide to change it or not.
Which would be worse, I wonder, Dex or Str?
Losing Str would make hacking through those zombies a looooong job.
Losing Dex would make those zombies hit a lot more often.

Choices, choices...

BOTH sounds good! ;-)
